consider using read.csv which is a special case of read.table

?read.csv

as for the RODBC functions, you probably found odbcConnectExcel, but the
help file there mentions a .dbf connections

?odbcConnectDbase

from there using sqlQuery it should be possible to write a .dbf file.

?sqlQuery

cheers,
